May 17, 1919. THE POP-VALVE Page 5.
-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
The fine weather affects some of the gang in
funny ways. Jake Strom of "110" was the
healthiest man in the company during the bad
weather but just as soon as the weather got
nice, Jake goes and gets himself marked
"quarters".
Top Sergeant Carlisle of "117" is considering
holding Reveille in front of the "Y" in the
morning and letting such comfort seekers as
Bobby Prince sit on the comfortable chairs there,
during this ceremony. He found Bobby AWOL
there recently.
Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a
riot at the last camp dance when he was
introduced to a girl who spoke real American.
Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and
could'nt see any one during the two dances he
had with her'.
"Roody" Pelton of "117" is glad to be with
us again, but he sure misses the doughnuts and
cofee that the Red Cross furnished the gang at
St Nazaire.
"Bill" Crowley and Frank White have some
interesting stories to tell about his doughnut
eating feats during their stay at the seaport.
Funny how tastes in souvenirs run. Benny
Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he
brought back a bunch of human bones which
he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.
Original, at least!
A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and
Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before
they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold
and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain
Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt
brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied
that the last time he had brought it, he had
been marked duty and had to go to work on
crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it
without the book for once. He got his pill!
Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.
O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt
take proper care of his command. He wanted
the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his
shoes!!
Corp. James Regan of P.W.E.Co. 240 has just
returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his
whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his
temper has been improved by the trip.
P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is
called the Peace Conference table on account of
the number of nationalities represented at it:
the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.
Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.
Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.
Vitti (Italian) T.E. Theobald (English) and
G.J. Gilbert (French).
Corporal Hocket of "109" is at Nice, taking in
the wonders of the Riviera district and will no
doubt have some wonderful things to tell the
folks along R.F.D. route when he gets back
home.
Private A.O. Wilson is sojourning at Cannes,
Nice and Menton, and "109" is eagearly awaiting
the gruesome details which "AO" is sure to
drag back with him.
Private H.O. Minnick of "109" is taking in the
sights of Paris and incidentially taking in any
stock farms that look good. "Min" is looking
for some blooded stock for his farm in Texas.
Notice to all sick and wounded: After theatre
C.C. & pink pill parties will confide their trou-
bles to Earl M. Jones of the Medics who has
been given the title of Secretary of the Interior
by his associates at the Infirmary.
Mr. Engr. McFarlane of the Band is touring
the battlefileds and "High-Flier" Jack Heins is
the boss of the Melody Mob.
Speaking of entries in contests, company 16
has a man who claims to have won first prize
at a baby show when his age was but three.
Fagerstrom of the Camp Marines says he
believes that the man -- Sgt. "Bull" Durham --
could win a few prizes even now.
Privates John Zinn, Neil Keeler, and Norman
Weaver staged a little party in Paris last week.
Zinn says Kipling must have been in Paris
when he wrote "The City of Dreadful Nights"!
"116" gets his point.
Sgt. Frankenfield, Cpt. Armstrong, Pvts.
Dahlgren, Rife, McKenzie, Brown and Bushman
returned from Nice this week. Everybody in
"116" is wondering how Armstrong found out
about his promotion to Corporal since the order
was issued during his absence. Second sight?
Sgt. Cairnes of the Medics has a hard time of
it. He has to deliver frequent lectures to
Dewey Lennertz and Johnnie Hughes on the
evils of african golf and vin rouge. He usually
winds up by telling Summie to cheer up and
remember that Napoleon was only a Corporal
once.
Its a good thing that Sgt. Buck Parsons of
"119" is an expert swimmer or his obituary would
be in the middle west papers by this time. Just
how and why the Sarge, who has taken his
chevrons off more times than he can count,
came to get mixed up in water buckets is a
secret that only Corp. Beardsley can explain.
Two members of "119" agree that the Battle
of Paris is no childs play. J.J. McConnehey and
"Little Bit" Stamen left for the beautiful city on
a 72 hour pass recently; they returned 40 hours
later, sans raincoats, sans cash, and sans any
desire to take another wallop at Paris.
Sgt. Frank "Cannuck" Stocker of "119" went
on a shopping expedition recently and returned
with what he thought was toilet water. He
could'nt read the French label but he took a
chance. After he had applied it, he took a
walk and met Sgt. G.C Gibbs who is an author-
ity on perfumes, and wondered why Guy was
regarding him so peculiarly. He and G.C. got
together and the result of the conference was
the decision that the toilet water wan'nt -- it
was hair tonic!
Messrs Anderson, Cowan and Mohrman,
members of "110" who are on the Varsity team,
report that Camp Stephenson has it all over any
camp they've visited on any of their tours, and
in every possible way.
Eddie Stanton of "110" claims that Corp. Joe
is a good fellow but not live enough for a
companion in Vichy. He says Joe ought to
team up with "Red" Herring who is fond of
and travels like snails.
It has been rumored that Private Reiche of
,'118" still sleeps in "full dress", he being a
veteran advocate of preparedness, and some-
what cold in his nature The latest news will
probably cause him to continue in full dress.
Arm in arm, just like brothers, Sergeants
Bauman and Oyler of "118" can be seen any
day. If you see one you see the other. They
look alike, speak alike and are alike in every
possible way, they are inseperables. Their
arguments are amusing, their impressions con-
fusing but they still stick together and every-
body's wondering why!
Lieut. Maurice Dalis of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co. is
in Bordeaux visiting a brother who was injured
at the front. The boys of his company are wor-
ried about him since they've heard about the
battle of Bordeaux from some of the old Forty-
Niners.
Some fellows get laughing ones, some get
crying ones; some want to go home and others
positively refuse to go home, but Pvt. M. B. Cook
of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co brought in an original
species the other night. He entered the orderly
room without knocking and wanted the Top to
help him remember where his old neighbors in
the States lived, he'd forgotten.!
Sgts Grannis and Snyder went and had
themselves classified about a week ago and
have been sitting around ever since, cursing the
whole A.E.F. because they failed to get their
travel orders. Its a tough Guerre on the class
"B" guys. They're still at "121".
Sgt. 1/cl Jones woke up the other night and
discovered Sgt. 1/cl Anderson walking the floor
in his nightie. 'S Matter Andy? Practising up
for the evenings back home? "121" wants an
explanation.
An Ace took all the joy out of life for Red
Swartz when Doc Hillman pulled it in at a cri-
tical moment. The affair threatened to make
these two associates of Sgt Lakes, deadly
enemies.
Top Kicker Larry Gill of Hqrs. Co took in the
Bourges sightseeing trip on Tuesday and reports
having a wonderful time.
Carmen Melillo of Hqrs. has just recently
returned from a lengthy sojourn in his native
land, Italy. Willie tells some tales about Italy
that would sound a little fishy if told about Paris.
A new boarder has been assigned to a seat in
"Stu" Maules Beanery: Frank Roberts of "120"
who was recently promoted to Sgt. 1/cl. and
transferred into Headquarters.
Walter Abrahams of the Band is carrying
round a roll that would choke an army mule,
and holding on to it like a soused brother clings
to the lamp post. "Abe" has been the victim of
considerable kidding about the roll, but he
refuses to divulge the idea for hanging on to it
so close.
Theodore "Pop" Case was the last member
of the Band to report for duty at the dance on
Saturday night, having just returned from Nice.
"Pop" was given a noisy greeting by the gang
when he landed.
Sgt. Harkins and Cook Timsack of P.W.E.
Co. 240, are in Paris and Top Sgt H.E. Daugherty
is in Nice, looking up rules on eating contests.
On their return, negotiations will be opened
with "121" for the matching of Corp. Bloom
with Max Kline in an eating contest for blood.
1st Sgt. Sharp of 2d. Prov. M.T.Co lost his
pistol and a box of cigars. With the Lieute-
nants he inspected the barracks and even looked
in hobnail boots for his Gat. While he was in
bed, some one returned the Gat and the box that
the cigars had been in. It is still a mystery to
the Sarge and he misses the cigars which were
AWOL from the returned box.
2d. Prov. M.T. Co. wants in on that big eaters
contest and puts forward Pvt. Ed Cubuc as its
champ. Ed is press-agented as having a 12
cylinder appetite and no preferences except
plenty of seconds.
Imprimerie Fortin et Cie, Nevers-Paris.
Corporal Ernest A. Fuller commonly known
as the Alabama car-knocker of "118", just re-
turned from a trip to and around the old Front
Lines, and according to the way he describes
the trip, what he did'nt see and what was'nt
there -- that "usta" be there-gives one the
impression that the Germans must have had
quite destructive natures.

weather but just as soon as the weather got
nice, Jake goes and gets himself marked
"quarters".
Top Sergeant Carlisle of "117" is considering
holding Reveille in front of the "Y" in the
morning and letting such comfort seekers as
Bobby Prince sit on the comfortable chairs there,
during this ceremony. He found Bobby AWOL
there recently.
Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a
riot at the last camp dance when he was
introduced to a girl who spoke real American.
Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and
could'nt see any one during the two dances he
had with her'.
"Roody" Pelton of "117" is glad to be with
us again, but he sure misses the doughnuts and
cofee that the Red Cross furnished the gang at
St Nazaire.
"Bill" Crowley and Frank White have some
interesting stories to tell about his doughnut
eating feats during their stay at the seaport.
Funny how tastes in souvenirs run. Benny
Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he
brought back a bunch of human bones which
he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.
Original, at least!
A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and
Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before
they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold
and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain
Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt
brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied
that the last time he had brought it, he had
been marked duty and had to go to work on
crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it
without the book for once. He got his pill!
Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.
O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt
take proper care of his command. He wanted
the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his
shoes!!
Corp. James Regan of P.W.E.Co. 240 has just
returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his
whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his
temper has been improved by the trip.
P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is
called the Peace Conference table on account of
the number of nationalities represented at it:
the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.
Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.
Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.
Vitti (Italian) T.E. Theobald (English) and
G.J. Gilbert (French).
Corporal Hocket of "109" is at Nice, taking in
the wonders of the Riviera district and will no
doubt have some wonderful things to tell the
folks along R.F.D. route when he gets back
home.
Private A.O. Wilson is sojourning at Cannes,
Nice and Menton, and "109" is eagearly awaiting
the gruesome details which "AO" is sure to
drag back with him.
Private H.O. Minnick of "109" is taking in the
sights of Paris and incidentially taking in any
stock farms that look good. "Min" is looking
for some blooded stock for his farm in Texas.
Notice to all sick and wounded: After theatre
C.C. & pink pill parties will confide their trou-
bles to Earl M. Jones of the Medics who has
been given the title of Secretary of the Interior
by his associates at the Infirmary.
Mr. Engr. McFarlane of the Band is touring
the battlefileds and "High-Flier" Jack Heins is
the boss of the Melody Mob.
Speaking of entries in contests, company 16
has a man who claims to have won first prize
at a baby show when his age was but three.
Fagerstrom of the Camp Marines says he
believes that the man -- Sgt. "Bull" Durham --
could win a few prizes even now.
Privates John Zinn, Neil Keeler, and Norman
Weaver staged a little party in Paris last week.
Zinn says Kipling must have been in Paris
when he wrote "The City of Dreadful Nights"!
"116" gets his point.
Sgt. Frankenfield, Cpt. Armstrong, Pvts.
Dahlgren, Rife, McKenzie, Brown and Bushman
returned from Nice this week. Everybody in
"116" is wondering how Armstrong found out
about his promotion to Corporal since the order
was issued during his absence. Second sight?
Sgt. Cairnes of the Medics has a hard time of
it. He has to deliver frequent lectures to
Dewey Lennertz and Johnnie Hughes on the
evils of african golf and vin rouge. He usually
winds up by telling Summie to cheer up and
remember that Napoleon was only a Corporal
once.
Its a good thing that Sgt. Buck Parsons of
"119" is an expert swimmer or his obituary would
be in the middle west papers by this time. Just
how and why the Sarge, who has taken his
chevrons off more times than he can count,
came to get mixed up in water buckets is a
secret that only Corp. Beardsley can explain.
Two members of "119" agree that the Battle
of Paris is no childs play. J.J. McConnehey and
"Little Bit" Stamen left for the beautiful city on
a 72 hour pass recently; they returned 40 hours
later, sans raincoats, sans cash, and sans any
desire to take another wallop at Paris.
Sgt. Frank "Cannuck" Stocker of "119" went
on a shopping expedition recently and returned
with what he thought was toilet water. He
could'nt read the French label but he took a
chance. After he had applied it, he took a
walk and met Sgt. G.C Gibbs who is an author-
ity on perfumes, and wondered why Guy was
regarding him so peculiarly. He and G.C. got
together and the result of the conference was
the decision that the toilet water wan'nt -- it
was hair tonic!
Messrs Anderson, Cowan and Mohrman,
members of "110" who are on the Varsity team,
report that Camp Stephenson has it all over any
camp they've visited on any of their tours, and
in every possible way.
Eddie Stanton of "110" claims that Corp. Joe
is a good fellow but not live enough for a
companion in Vichy. He says Joe ought to
team up with "Red" Herring who is fond of
and travels like snails.
It has been rumored that Private Reiche of
,'118" still sleeps in "full dress", he being a
veteran advocate of preparedness, and some-
what cold in his nature The latest news will
probably cause him to continue in full dress.
Arm in arm, just like brothers, Sergeants
Bauman and Oyler of "118" can be seen any
day. If you see one you see the other. They
look alike, speak alike and are alike in every
possible way, they are inseperables. Their
arguments are amusing, their impressions con-
fusing but they still stick together and every-
body's wondering why!
Lieut. Maurice Dalis of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co. is
in Bordeaux visiting a brother who was injured
at the front. The boys of his company are wor-
ried about him since they've heard about the
battle of Bordeaux from some of the old Forty-
Niners.
Some fellows get laughing ones, some get
crying ones; some want to go home and others
positively refuse to go home, but Pvt. M. B. Cook
of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co brought in an original
species the other night. He entered the orderly
room without knocking and wanted the Top to
help him remember where his old neighbors in
the States lived, he'd forgotten.!
Sgts Grannis and Snyder went and had
themselves classified about a week ago and
have been sitting around ever since, cursing the
whole A.E.F. because they failed to get their
travel orders. Its a tough Guerre on the class
"B" guys. They're still at "121".
Sgt. 1/cl Jones woke up the other night and
discovered Sgt. 1/cl Anderson walking the floor
in his nightie. 'S Matter Andy? Practising up
for the evenings back home? "121" wants an
explanation.
An Ace took all the joy out of life for Red
Swartz when Doc Hillman pulled it in at a cri-
tical moment. The affair threatened to make
these two associates of Sgt Lakes, deadly
enemies.
Top Kicker Larry Gill of Hqrs. Co took in the
Bourges sightseeing trip on Tuesday and reports
having a wonderful time.
Carmen Melillo of Hqrs. has just recently
returned from a lengthy sojourn in his native
land, Italy. Willie tells some tales about Italy
that would sound a little fishy if told about Paris.
Corporal Ernest A. Fuller commonly known
as the Alabama car-knocker of "118", just re-
turned from a trip to and around the old Front
Lines, and according to the way he describes
the trip, what he did'nt see and what was'nt
there -- that "usta" be there-gives one the
impression that the Germans must have had
quite destructive natures.

is a good fellow but not live enough for a
companion in Vichy. He says Joe ought to
team up with "Red" Herring who is fond of
and travels like snails.

-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
The fine weather affects some of the gang in
funny ways. Jake Strom of "110" was the
healthiest man in the company during the bad
weather but just as soon as the weather got
nice, Jake goes and gets himself marked
"quarters".
Top Sergeant Carlisle of "117" is considering
holding Reveille in front of the "Y" in the
morning and letting such comfort seekers as
Bobby Prince sit on the comfortable chairs there,
during this ceremony. He found Bobby AWOL
there recently.
Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a
riot at the last camp dance when he was
introduced to a girl who spoke real American.
Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and
could'nt see any one during the two dances he
had with her'.
"Roody" Pelton of "117" is glad to be with
us again, but he sure misses the doughnuts and
cofee that the Red Cross furnished the gang at
St Nazaire.
"Bill" Crowley and Frank White have some
interesting stories to tell about his doughnut
eating feats during their stay at the seaport.
Funny how tastes in souvenirs run. Benny
Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he
brought back a bunch of human bones which
he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.
Original, at least!
A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and
Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before
they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold
and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain
Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt
brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied
that the last time he had brought it, he had
been marked duty and had to go to work on
crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it
without the book for once. He got his pill!
Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.
O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt
take proper care of his command. He wanted
the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his
shoes!!
Corp. James Regan of P.W.E.Co. 240 has just
returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his
whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his
temper has been improved by the trip.
P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is
called the Peace Conference table on account of
the number of nationalities represented at it:
the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.
Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.
Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.
Vitti (Italian) T.E. Theobald (English) and
G.J. Gilbert (French).
Corporal Hocket of "109" is at Nice, taking in
the wonders of the Riviera district and will no
doubt have some wonderful things to tell the
folks along R.F.D. route when he gets back
home.
Private A.O. Wilson is sojourning at Cannes,
Nice and Menton, and "109" is eagearly awaiting
the gruesome details which "AO" is sure to
drag back with him.
Private H.O. Minnick of "109" is taking in the
sights of Paris and incidentially taking in any
stock farms that look good. "Min" is looking
for some blooded stock for his farm in Texas.
Notice to all sick and wounded: After theatre
C.C. & pink pill parties will confide their trou-
bles to Earl M. Jones of the Medics who has
been given the title of Secretary of the Interior
by his associates at the Infirmary.
Mr. Engr. McFarlane of the Band is touring
the battlefileds and "High-Flier" Jack Heins is
the boss of the Melody Mob.
Speaking of entries in contests, company 16
has a man who claims to have won first prize
at a baby show when his age was but three.
Fagerstrom of the Camp Marines says he
believes that the man -- Sgt. "Bull" Durham --
could win a few prizes even now.
Privates John Zinn, Neil Keeler, and Norman
Weaver staged a little party in Paris last week.
Zinn says Kipling must have been in Paris
when he wrote "The City of Dreadful Nights"!
"116" gets his point.
Sgt. Frankenfield, Cpt. Armstrong, Pvts.
Dahlgren, Rife, McKenzie, Brown and Bushman
returned from Nice this week. Everybody in
"116" is wondering how Armstrong found out
about his promotion to Corporal since the order
was issued during his absence. Second sight?
Sgt. Cairnes of the Medics has a hard time of
it. He has to deliver frequent lectures to
Dewey Lennertz and Johnnie Hughes on the
evils of african golf and vin rouge. He usually
winds up by telling Summie to cheer up and
remember that Napoleon was only a Corporal
once.
Its a good thing that Sgt. Buck Parsons of
"119" is an expert swimmer or his obituary would
be in the middle west papers by this time. Just
how and why the Sarge, who has taken his
chevrons off more times than he can count,
came to get mixed up in water buckets is a
secret that only Corp. Beardsley can explain.
Two members of "119" agree that the Battle
of Paris is no childs play. J.J. McConnehey and
"Little Bit" Stamen left for the beautiful city on
a 72 hour pass recently; they returned 40 hours
later, sans raincoats, sans cash, and sans any
desire to take another wallop at Paris.
Sgt. Frank "Cannuck" Stocker of "119" went
on a shopping expedition recently and returned
with what he thought was toilet water. He
could'nt read the French label but he took a
chance. After he had applied it, he took a
walk and met Sgt. G.C Gibbs who is an author-
ity on perfumes, and wondered why Guy was
regarding him so peculiarly. He and G.C. got
together and the result of the conference was
the decision that the toilet water wan'nt -- it
was hair tonic!
